I was at a restaurant in Ensenada this past weekend (4/15-4/17), and was reading in a LOCAL PAPER that the Federal District Police Chief of San
Quintin was assassinated. The paper was at the register when I was paying for the tab, and did not get the full details...only the headline.
Anyone on Nomads have any further details??BajaGringo - 4-17-2011 at 03:46 PM
I just heard about it last night - what i heard was that he was killed at / near the border. His name was Guillermo Plata Camacho and I had the
pleasure of meeting him on a couple of occasions. He seemed like a real straight shooter and most people here who knew him are still in shock...DENNIS - 4-17-2011 at 03:51 PM

I guess that since everyone has become so very sensitive to the corruption issues and the cartel issues. I'll make the first stab at asking what the
heck was he doing near the Otay garita?bajaguy - 4-17-2011 at 04:41 PM

Don't see it that way, Howard. I see Mexico, the US and the rest of the world becoming numb to the issue. Indignation has come to a frustated halt
and acceptance is taking over.
I can't imagine the future, but the drug industry has, in my opinion, won the war.
It's the army of greed and need in the south coupled with the army of desire in the north that have beat us. There is no way to fight this. We
waited too long.ELINVESTIG8R - 4-17-2011 at 04:56 PM
When I first saw the headline I immediately thought it was my friend Adalberto until I saw the name. What an F-ing mess!BajaBlanca - 4-17-2011 at 05:11 PM

He was building a house just in front of us. We will miss him. He had been here only a little more than a year. He would come in on Sundays with many
other Officers to enjoy the Buffet. No officers in today. That seems funny but then I remember why.
Rest In Peace.slimshady - 4-18-2011 at 04:29 PM

When I crossed @ Otai on Friday, was wondering why so many police cars were heading in one direction.
Didn't find out until Sunday morning.

Well, lets see now. Dope of the 60's kids. Having kids, with kids growing up in a doped home. That makes those kids, (not all of course) getting
access from their parents of their dope. Those kids are now raising their families, doing dope and the "young ones" watching them smoking the stuff,
and getting high. So wonder why there is so much dope coming out of Mexico??? Then there is the marajuana coming out of Northern Cal mountains. Much
of that is going north into Oregon/Washington???? reading Oregon news weekly on the internet, not uncommon for the cities in Ashland/Medford/Grants
Pass/Roseburg & the state police pulling over cars on I-5 for some infractions, and finding large amounts of marajuana, and last names of the
persons arrested being of Spanish descent. Add this all over the U.S. and what we have is a cess pool that our grandkids and great grand kids are
falling into!!!! BUT. won't have to worry about it after December of 2012. End of the Mayan calendar???? Stand by for more news on Coast to Coast
Broadcasting station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~bajatravelergeorge - 4-19-2011 at 08:14 AM
Another Martyr to the war on drugs. May God rest his soul.
Come on American drug users, stop the demand for the product. Good people are dying so you can smoke pot and crack, snort coke, or shoot smack. Your
as guilty as the guys who pulled the trigger. Please, just stop!
